                          INSTRUCTIONS and RULES
                          ----------------------

In this game you are presented with 3 rows of numbers. Next to each row is an
associated point value. You will be trying to clear as many rows of numbers as
possible, accumulating points as you clear a line. Two dice are rolled. You
use the total value of the die, in any combination you wish, to clear numbers.
For example, if you roll an 11, you can remove a 5,6 or 4,5,2 or 9,2 or 8,3...
etc. You enter the numbers you want removed, one right after the other
(452 or 92 or 56). If you roll a double, you will receive an insurance marker.
This marker comes into play when you enter 0 if you can't remove any numbers.
If you enter 0 and you have insurance markers, you will be given an extra
turn equal to the number of insurance markers accumulated! If you have
accumulated 0 points you will have points deducted from your Top Score (if
you are in the Top Scores) as follows:






                        Top Score          Deduction
                        ---------          ---------
                       101 -   499              50
                       500 -   999             100
                      1000 -  4999             300
                      5000 -  9999            1000
                     10000 - 19999            2000
                     20000 - 29999            3000
                     30000 - 39999            5000
                     40000 - 49999            7000
                     50000 - 59999            9000
                     60000 -                 10000

The deducted points are added to the "POOL". All points lost by any player,
including those playing the game on another node at the same, will have
their deducted points added to the "POOL". The updating of the "POOL" points
display is done in "REAL TIME" (ie: it will be reflected on your screen as
soon as another player loses points).



If you clear all three rows you will receive 400 points plus 100 points for
each unused insurance marker, and a chance to play the BONUS round. In the
BONUS round you will be presented with one line of numbers (1-9). You roll
the dice and remove numbers, as in the regular round. You get 100 pts for
each number you remove. If you remove all 9 numbers you will receive all
the points in the "POOL". NOTE that there are NO insurance markers
available in the BONUS round !
